Menopause

The most common symptoms are vasomotor symptoms (VMS): brief periodic increases in body temperature. For 80% of women, hot flashes occur for 2 years or less, but some may experience them for more than 2 years. A hot flash may cause an increase in a woman’s heart rate. This causes sudden perspiration as the body tries to reduce its temperature and may also be accompanied by heart palpitations and dizziness. Hot flashes that happen at night are called night sweats.

Vaginal atrophy (also referred to as genitourinary syndrome of menopause or GSM) is the drying and thinning of the tissues of the vagina and urethra. This can lead to pain during sex, as well as vaginitis, cystitis, and urinary tract infections.

Which can lead to urinary incontinence and also increase the risk of the uterus, bladder, urethra, or rectum protruding into the vagina.

Intermittent dizziness, an abnormal sensation, such as numbness, prickling, tingling, and/or heightened sensitivity, cardiac palpitations, and fast heart rhythm may occur as symptoms of menopause.

Changing hormones can cause some women to have an increase in facial hair or a thinning of the hair on the scalp.

Several studies have indicated that menopausal women suffer no more anxiety, depression, anger, nervousness, or feelings of stress than women of the same age who are still menstruating. Psychological and emotional symptoms may be related to other factors.

Due to hormonal changes in the body.
